The Right Hair For You

Grooming Glossary: Defining Hair Products

We've received enough questions from concerned girlfriends, genuinely confused gents, and a couple of crusty-haired bros to offer you this: The Grooming Glossary. In the slides above, we'll list five different types of products: grooming cream, paste, pomade, gel, and clay, and then explain the difference to you. The cold, hard, unfortunate truth is that you'll probably want to have more than one of these guys at your daily disposal. That way, you can change up your look about as often as you change up your belt—which, let's be honest, isn't that often, but it feels nice when you do. You know? Shop our picks in the slides above, too. They come highly recommended. —Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi)
